I’m debating updating my BLNR. I like AR on my new sub no date, but comparing them side by side, it’s surprisingly hard to notice the difference at all!

Correction I finally found where I can notice it. On a diagonal view with not so bright lights. I can see a deeper black on the dial face with AR on my sub41 no date. Yeah I’m going to get it don’t next week at RSC Beverly Hills. Also hoping to get a blue put onto our DJ41 that just for out of warranty and will add the ar glass as well to that.

Please give us an update on that!! And if you can get a part # for the replacement crystal with the AR, that would be great too.

My BLNR I just picked up Monday from my AD doesn’t have the AR or the coronet (that I can see). Does anyone know when they started putting these on the GMT’s?

About 2 years ago. Are you sure you don’t have the double ovals at the bottom of the LEC?

Since it's a new AD purchase, I'm sure the coronet or "LEC" is there at the 6:00 area on the crystal. You just have to get it at the right angle and lighting. Then you can determine how many rings it has at the base of the coronet.
